Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hi all,

The time it takes out of a day to be a list administrator technically
depends on you. Your prime duties are to ensure people get subscribed
and unsubscribed from the lists and keep the peace. It's up to you as
to how much you wish to participate in the discussion. Most list admins
write up some kind of welcome message that show all new subscribers the
guidelines they'll need to adhere to. That's it.
It's just a matter of realizing that the more lists you take on, the
more you'll have to take care of.
If you're interested in adopting one or more of the above lists, please
contact me at <ladyaudris(a)earthlink.net>. On Friday, October 31st, I'll
turn over whatever I still have to Rootsweb. I hope a list member will
pick each of these up from me as every one of them are fantastic groups
of people. I just don't have the time I need to do a good job for you now.
